  • Not LUSH! Lolly & Moo Crystal Ball Bath Bomb

    These days you can buy bath bombs pretty much from anywhere. Department stores, discount stores, small independent businesses/vendors, even corner shops! And of course you have well known stores whose business is based on what you put on your body and what you use in the bath or shower. One of my latest bath time treats pulled out of my beauty wax stash comes from one of my favourite small businesses Lolly& Moo. I bought the whipped soap, so it seemed only fair to buy Crystal Bath Bomb as well.

    Lolly & Moo’s Crystal Bath Bomb
    Appearance

    Size wise this is more jumbo than standard. Definitely bigger than the usual bath bombs as they are so much more substantial and I struggle to hold this within the palm of one hand. Beautifully coloured! Has what I would call a galaxy look to it. Purples, blues in various different shades running around it giving that type of effect with a little silver sparkle finishing it off. Very striking!

    Fragrance

    Same as its whipped soap sister, floral, clean, slight citrus and musk, so if you have tried the soap this is its perfect match. Inspired by a V&R fragrance which would make this ideal for the perfume lovers out there.

    In the bath

    Popped under warm running water, the fusion of colour and water is stunning! The colours on the bath bomb is what you get in the bath, and then they all run together to give the water a rich, deep and dark purple colour. Before getting to that point this does produce foam, which lasted for me quite some time.

    Surprises?

    Well its not the size it is for no reason! Inside this beautiful mass is a secret. A hidden semi precious stone in the centre is revealed once the bath bomb disappears. Honestly, its so much better than opening up a Kinder egg! Not all of these bath bombs have the same stone in the middle, they are varied, which makes opening these up even more interesting and exciting.

    Recommended?

    Yes! If you were to ever go for a bath bomb that was special, unique and striking, this is the one! Its big, beautiful, smells amazing and kind to the skin. And for £5.00 it’s great value for money for a treat for yourself or someone else. Unfortunately, this bath bomb is no longer available from this business but it just shows quality bath bombs are available from many places.

  • Luxurious Lolly & Moo Crystal Ball Whipped Soap

    These days a bar of soap or a bath or shower gel is not the only way to wash our bodies. The imagination of companies and businesses in this area is pretty impressive, which means as customers we get variety and choices to match our needs, wants and budgets. A product that falls into this category as got to be a whipped soap! And using Lolly & Moo’s Crystal Whipped Soap that was released last year was an experience. It costs £8.50 for 140g.

    Lolly & Moo Crystal Whipped Soap
    Why did I use this?

    I’ve enjoyed using whipped soaps. It’s a great and fun alternative to other products you could use in the bath or shower. All of the whipped soaps I’ve bought have been from Lolly & Moo. So when they made and released Crystal Whipped soap last year I HAD to try it because it looked and sounded amazing!

    What’s a Whipped Soap?

    If you’re not too sure what a whipped soap is, its exactly what it sounds like. It’s a soap that has been whipped and fluffy in texture and you use it to wash your body with. You use it the same way you would with a bar, pop it on a sponge or on your hand and wash you body.

    How does it look?

    This whipped soap comes in a clear jar so you can see exactly what you are getting. Lilac in colour, and literally piped into it’s packaging giving an edible ice-cream look to it. Sprinkled with dark purple mica pigment, gold and silver glitter and tiny silver stars. And how could I forget the semi-precious stone placed on the top like that very important cherry on top of a cake? This whipped soap could easily be THAT cake you dribble over while passing counters selling delicious cakes and pastries in your favourite supermarkets, restaurants or cake shops. This..is.. SUNNING!

    Texture

    Airy and light, but this has a good thickness to it. Very easy to use and feels very luxurious. If you could use a body butter to wash with that had been whipped to an inch of its life, this is how I would describe the texture to be.

    Fragrance

    Inspired by a well known fragrance, this SMELLS like a perfume! First thing I pick up on is floral. Its not a strong floral but definitely a fresh one. There’s a hint of citrus, a little sweetness and lastly musk which gives it depth. Its a gorgeous fragrance, easy and pleasant to smell and just the right strength to enjoy.

    On the skin

    When I say you don’t need much you really don’t. An amount the size of the tip of you finger placed on a sponge, is ample. With the addition of warm water from the shower this foamed up beautifully. It’s like bathing in something that could be a body moisturiser, it feels that hydrating. Cleans the skin without drying it, and gives it that hit of moisture thanks to ingredients such as apricot kernel oil.

    Recommended?

    YES! It does what its supposed to do which is to clean the skin, but its so much more than that. The way it look, it’s so enjoyable to use and it keeps my skin in great condition while washing it. This is affordable luxury at its best!

  • Strawberry & Parsley Wax Melt Is A Must Buy!

    When you buy home fragrance online it’s hard to know what the item smells like unless you’ve purchased it before. So how do you make your fragrance decision? I personally base it off the scent name and it’s description. But sometimes even that doesn’t help with making a decision and you need to just take a chance. And this is what I did when I purchased Strawberry Wax Creations Wild Strawberry & Parsley Wax Melt Pot.

    Strawberry Melt’s Wild Strawberry & Parsley Wax Pot
    Why did I buy this?

    Wild Strawberry & Parsley seems to be a firm favourite with people online in wax groups. People raved about it, said how great it smelt and how unusual it was. And THIS is why I bought it!

    How does this look?

    A simple but beautiful looking piece of potted wax. Green, with red splashes liberally sitting on the top. Appealing, and considering the scent name, the perfect colour combo.

    Wild Strawberry & Parsley
    Fragrance

    Its clean and fresh. This reminds me of laundry scented family because of how punch it is with it’s powdery and clean note. Yet underneath it you can make out a berry sweetness to it with added sharpness with a hint of herbal.

    Strength & Longevity

    STRONG AND LONG! Use a quarter to a third of this depending on wax warmer used, location and personal taste. But you are more likely to change the wax because you want to rather than need to. Melting a third for me a few hours a day was still going at a good strength by the end of the week till I changed it, and could have continued for longer and still be noticeable ( if not as strong ).

    Recommended?

    YEESSSSSS! If you like your clean/laundry type scents you will love this! More so because its not a typical fragrance, but gives that same immaculate spring clean type scent if that’s what you are looking for. This is why this is THE perfect wax to melt for Spring and Summer. Thanks to its strength it will go on and on and on.

  • Fragrance Dupe Lolly & Moo’s Stellar Wax Melt Pot

    Wax pots/melts are a fantastic alternative to the usual ways we fragrance our homes. The amount of fragrances available in these forms is growing more and more. This is one of the reasons why I’m a wax melt addict. They give me a chance to try different scents at affordable prices to fragrance my home. So what have I chosen to melt today? The wax melt pot that’s caught my eye (and nose) is from wax vendor Lolly & Moo and is called Stellar.

    Stellar Wax Melt Pot by Lolly & Moo
    Appearance

    This looks simple but with a touch of glamour. Stellar is in one colour, which I would describe as an aubergine shade of purple, finished off with a light drizzle of gold multi cut glitter.

    Fragrance

    This has a slight musky, earthy scent to. It becomes slightly sweeter thanks to the addition of floral when that kicks in. With these two elements combined, Stellar creates a grown up, warm sensual fragrance. Feminine, sophisticated, strong yet quite clean too.

    Strength & Longevity

    It’s an obvious scent, and really fills the room without being overpowering but is very noticeable. Strength wise this is medium and longevity is very good. One quarter lasted for hours when melting and the strength remained in tact. So this one pot of waxy goodness provides hours and hours of fragrance.

    Recommended?

    This isn’t too floral (which I hate), it’s not too musky (I don’t want my house to smell like a man’s locker room) and it smells expensive! Its quite different to other scents that I already own wax wise so stands out for me, and one I will happily buy again when this pot is finished. Great scent overall, strength and longevity good so definitely recommended!

    Do you fancy the sound of Stellar? Buy her here for £2.25 each per 42g pot. She is gorgeous!
